Great macro, good DOF, subtle colours. Well done!

@dee: Thanks Dee ;-)

Roberta from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

I tried to call you back yesterday - will send you an email this AM. I think I would have prefered either a different angle or wider DOF so the line of the wire leads your eye through the shot. But still good work with that macro lens.

@Roberta: Hey Roberta! Yeah, I missed that. I have to remember to bracket my shots more so I'm not just getting the one vision. Thanks!!

kairospix from Singapore, Singapore

this is such a masterful macro capture! i like it!
the use of very shallow dof really helped the viewer focus on the barb!
as usual a great shot! a MPM shot! :)

@kairospix: Thanks K!! Really appreciate the "MPM" title!!

Anne from White Rock, Canada

Great job Amy! I am so jealous of that Macro lens - but I can't have one for a while yet! ;-)

27 May 2007 9:57pm

@Anne: Hey Anne!! Welcome back! Have missed your footprints (as Rahul would say). ;-)

Terry from Keokuk, United States

The depth of field and light really capture the age and character of the wire. It just looks like how it gets pronounced south of you "bob" wire.

27 May 2007 10:00pm

@Terry: Thank you Terry!! and good point about the pronunciation.. made me smile! ;-)

Evie from Fairfax, United States

Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Wow, wonderful, wo wo hahaha... (decided to stick to W-words since F-words are taking ur heart away) LOL. Great DoF here and the panaroma crop works wonders. This is a winner shot. You have improved so much, and i dont dare challenge you anymore. ;-)

28 May 2007 5:13am

@Rahul: Oh Rahul, you are such a sweetie! Thanks for noticing the panarama cropping!! I thought it was a stroke of genius... but I am going to go back and try a shot with deeper dof as Roberta suggested. I think she has a point. Thanks as always, my friend!! ;-)

kaveh from TEHRAN, Iran

very strong capture! like your focus. Great!!

28 May 2007 5:36am

@kaveh: Thanks bunches kaveh!! ;-)

Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Well Amy, from the first day we have this competitive relationship hehehe... so how can i not see even the smallest wonder you do in your pics, isnt that how we learn from eachother. ;-) Just decrease the F-stop and you can have all the DoF, but a word of advice, be careful as the right DoF rocks and a wrong DoF can be really frustrating, since you only shoot once haha... Better to play safe, like you have done here with f/5.6, and its just perfect, any more would probably end up ruining the effect.

My two cents LOL. Guess, i just cant be serious with you ever hehe... even while writing serious comments i keep smiling LOLZ.. ;-)

28 May 2007 2:28pm

@Rahul: You are so right Rahul!! We do learn from each other. Really appreciate all you have to say... I usually fly by the seat of my pants too much when taking shots. I'm not a very patient person and just hit the ground running.. but because of the encouragement I get on this site I'm learning to take it a little slower and think. And you make me smile all the time, too, Rahul. It's a very good thing... ;-)
